pip/poetry audits, CVE patches, and Django security releases applied with regression checks.
Bug Fixes
Triage and fix production issues on auth, billing, tasks, and integrations.
Performance Tuning
Query optimization, caching, and Celery/async tuning when latency spikes.
Version Upgrades
Planned Django/Python upgrades with test expansion — not emergency deploys.
ML Model Support
Drift monitoring, retraining, and runtime/dependency updates for models in production.
Small Enhancements
Hour-bank improvements within retainer — reports, admin tweaks, API endpoints.
When Teams Need Maintenance
Common Python support scenarios.
Post-Launch Support
Post
Launch
Agency built v1 — you need ongoing Python capacity without hiring.

Python Maintenance vs Feature Development
Maintenance keeps your Python app secure and stable; feature sprints grow the product. GreeLogix retainers blend both with transparent hour banks — you always know what went to bugs versus enhancements.
We maintain apps we built and apps we audit first. Undocumented legacy or ML code gets a short onboarding audit so fixes do not create new production risks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the buyer questions we hear most before a project starts.
- What is Python maintenance?
- Ongoing support for Python apps — security patches, dependency updates, bug fixes, performance tuning, Django/Python upgrades, and small features on a retainer or ticket basis.
- How much does Python maintenance cost?
- Retainers from $1,500–$6,000/month depending on SLA, hours, and environment count. Ad-hoc support billed per sprint or ticket pack.
- Do you maintain apps you did not build?
- Yes, after a technical audit. We need repo access, a staging environment, and clarity on critical business paths.
- Do you support ML models in production?
- Yes — drift monitoring, retraining schedules, dependency and CUDA/runtime updates, and inference performance tuning are part of ML maintenance retainers.
- How do you handle Django and Python version upgrades?
- Planned upgrade sprints with full regression on auth and integrations — not drive-by pip upgrades that break production.
- What SLAs do you offer?
- Business-hours response (same day), extended US/UK overlap, and optional on-call for production incidents on higher tiers.
